Choosing which game to buy from the mountain available is a difficult job,
especially when everyone claims to produce the best on the market. But how can
you tell the best from the rest?. To help you decide, read on. . . .
Very rarely have
software titles produced
such universal acclaim
as ‘Halls of the Things'
and The Dungeon

brand new programs,
Crystal continues to set
the standard of software
excellence. The
difference is obvious -
the choice is yours:
HALLS OF THE THINGS

"Excellent and dangerously addictive - could
change the Spectrum games scene
overnight". ..-Sinclair User.

Instructions for graphics characters arc printed in lower-case letters in our listings. They are enclosed by
brackets and separated by colons to distinguish them and the brackets and colons should not be entered.
Inverse characters are represented by the letter “i” and graphics characters by “g”. Thus an inverse
W would be represented by “iw”, a graphics W by “gw”, and an inverse graphics W by “igw”.
Spaces are represented by “sp” and inverse spaces by “isp”. Whenever any character is to be used
more than once, the number of times it is to be used is shown before it, together with a multiplication
sign. Thus “6*isp” means six inverse spaces and “(g4:4*i4:g3)” would be entered as a graphic four,
followed by an inverse four repeated four times, followed by a graphics three.
Where whole words are to be written in inverse letters they appear in the listings as lower-case letters.
Letters to be entered in graphics mode on the Spectrum arc underlined.
Inverse characters may be entered on the ZX-81 by changing to graphics mode and then typing the
appropriate characters and on the Spectrum by changing to inverse video and typing the appropriate
letters. Graphics characters may be entered on the ZX-81 by changing to graphics mode and then
pressing symbol shift while the appropriate characters are entered. On the Spectrum graphics characters
may be obtained by changing to graphics mode and then pressing the appropriate character. User-
defined graphics will appear as normal letters until the program has been RUN.

iJ
ON BEHALF of all your
readers, thank you for pub¬
lishing a wonderful maga¬
zine. In my second breath I
implore you to publish fort¬
nightly. That would satisfy
everyone and would prevent
the agony of waiting. Of
course I am speaking feeling¬
ly as I am more than 70 years
old. This is my only pastime
and it takes me about two
weeks to try all the programs.
There have been several
times a program has not run,
but a letter to you soon solves
any problems.
I was interested in the let¬
ter from Allisoun Fern; I did
not know there were different
models of the Spectrum.
There is nothing in the man¬
ual which states the model or
how to identify from other
models, so your reply was of
great interest; the IN stat-
ments are now committed to
my memory bank. I bought
my Spectrum in June. Is
there anything about this
model on which you could
enlighten me?.
I have all the time in the
world to enter any program
so I know everything I enter
is exactly as printed. For in¬
stance, two programs — Sla¬
lom and Quasimodo — in the
November issue failed to run;
are they not reading the
data?. Could that have any¬
thing to do with the model,
or do you think some part of
the computer is faulty?
I know you must be up to
your necks in letters. Could
you set up a telephone an¬
swering service, since the
questions would be mainly
about errors? A set of ready¬
made answers could be ready.
There must be many pro¬
grams you have published
which newcomers do not
know about. Could you re¬
print them? When you come
to the financial part, your
magazine proves the cheapest
and, as far as programs go,
they surpass all the opposi¬
tion. I would not mind if you
raised the price so long as you
increased the number of pro¬
grams and added some inter¬
esting features.
Why not increase the num¬
ber of readers’ letters? Many
computer thumpers would be
over the moon to see theirs
printed. As I have seen in
your letters page, items and
information other readers
have to offer are extensive.
That would lead to us
learning the computer to be¬
come more capable and, in
time, repay you by sending
programs we have composed.
What a happy world if this
could happen.
C Fowler,
Sheffield.
Record
Breaker?
I AM writing about a pro¬
gram in the July issue of Sin¬
clair Programs, Alphabet
Time. On my first attempt on
the program I got 120 units. I
would like to know if anyone
else has written to say they
have beaten my record.
Andrew Lamb, aged 11,

Werewolf’s
Lair Changes
IN THE OCTOBER edition
in the game Werewolf Lair a
few mistakes were made. The
peeks which make sure that
you or the monster do not go
through the walls of the maze
are set up for the wrong
graphics. To solve this you
can either change all the
graphic Hs in the maze plot
to graphic As or change the 8
in lines 370, 570 and 630 to
136. With the second method
you must also change the
graphic As in lines 90 and
290 to graphics Hs.
I found this a very enjoy¬
able game and have managed
to achieve a high score of
753.
Tom Liptrot,
Burscough,

ZX-81-to-
Spectrum
Conversion
I AM a newcomer to comput¬
ers and I own a Spectrum
48K machine. I find your
magazine very helpful but I
have one problem which you
could solve for me.
In the ZX-81 listings there
are certain commands which
are foreign to me — i.e.,
FAST, SLOW, g.w., g.a.
Could you supply me with a
list of Spectrum commands
to replace them in the listings
so I can make full use of your
magazine? Perhaps the listing
could be printed in the maga¬
zine for the benefit of other
Spectrum owners.
M Gibson,
Stoke-on-Trent.
Letter not
Figure
IN PRINTING my letter in
the October issue of Sinclair
Programs you made a small
mistake which made non¬
sense of the letter. The last
part should read: Line 135 IF
n=10 and y= 16 THEN
PRINT AT 13,17;
“*”:PAUSE 7*(4-/)+10:
PRINT AT 13,17; “ ”

Mark Three
Defender
YOU RECENTLY sent me a
reply to my letter concerning
a fault in the Defender pro¬
gram published in the July
issue of Sinclair Programs.
You said in your letter that
a number of your readers had
experienced the same fault
i.e., failure of ‘Cap Shift’ and
‘Z’ keys to move the space¬
craft up and down.
I have delved into this fault
and have come up with a
solution to the problem. If
line 2020 of the program is
amended as shown, all will be
well.
My amended program now
works perfectly.
I hope that this infor¬
mation will be of use to you
and your readers and that it
will be published in Sinclair
Programs in due course.
C A Bailey,
Ely,
Cambs.
Readers with Model 3 Spec-
trums who have experienced
problems with the DEFEND¬
ER program may find this
amendment useful.

THANK YOU for your pro-

I hope you will try to have

they can be only a few lines
but be very good.

T ONY ABRAHAMS of Camber-
ley, Surrey wrote Clock for the
ZX-81 16K. The program gives
you a clock accurate to approximately
30 seconds an hour. That accuracy is
contained in the variable “L” which
equals about 50; you can adjust it to suit
your machine.
Abrahams says his program disproves
any accusations of Basic on a ZX-81
being too slow to support an accurate
timepiece. The program uses the sys¬
tem variable FRAMES and may vary
between individual machines.
FRAMES takes 3,000 revolutions to the
minute, therefore 3,000/50=one sec¬
ond. The clock may jump variables
according to variable “L”.

F LITE is an addictive dodge ’em
game. You must avoid the deadly
heat-seeking missiles heading for
you and at the same time you must try
and hit an enemy target to gain points.
Flite was written by Peter Davies of

There's only one thing wrong with the
ZX81 Its keyboard.
Or rather its lack of one.
Since it’s flat your fingers don't feel as if
there's any response to the pressure put on
the keys.
ZX81KEYS FILESIXTY KEYS
But our keyboard doesn’t just come
loaded with features. With it comes a separate
overlay and a set of coloured stick-on labels to
make game playing easier.
It’s yours for the original price of £9.95.
Whichever way you look at it, we think
you’ll agree that it’s a keyboard thafs quite
outstanding.
In other words, you’re not quite sure
which keys you've pressed until the screen
actually tells you.
Our new, improved push button keyboard
changes all that.
It matches the ZX81 perfectly. And the
keys give a real calculator-type feel.
To set it up all you have to do is peel off the
adhesive backing and stick it on top of the
ZX81 touchpad.
Because no tampering or soldering is
involved the guarantee is not affected. And it
will last for up to 3'fi million operations.

TRACE
For any ZX Spectrum, and
now for the 16K ZX81H!
A superb aid to programming the ZX81 /SPECTRUM,
allowing you to watch what your BASIC programs are doing
every step of the way. Bugs in your programs will be easier
to find. Example programs will almost explain themselves.
Before the ZX81/SPECTRUM executes each BASIC state¬
ment in your program it will display the line number,
statement number (SPECTRUM), and the statement itself
in the input area (it will not overwrite the main display area).
The speed is controllable from single step upwards. You can
produce a TRACE listing on the ZX printer, stop your
program at any point to print variables or correct errors, and
start/stop tracing from anywhere in your program.
"an effective TRACE ... a useful debugging tool. . .easy
to use". S.U. 9/83 reviewing SPECTRUM version.
It might even help you find the errors in the magazine listings!

T he abandoned house is
a 16K ZX-81 adventure game
and is this month’s program of
the month. The author is Stephen Mur-
gatroyd, aged 14, of Wantage, Oxon
who has been programming since he
received his ZX-81 in July. He is keen
on adventure games and this is his first
attempt at this type of game.
Caught in a fierce electric storm, you
seek shelter in an abandoned house.
The door closes behind you, there is
only one way out and you must find it.
You explore the house, you are given a
3D picture of each room as you enter it.
You can find treasure or weapons but
the house holds other secrets. The
graphics are very good and add to the
eerie atmosphere.

MAIL ORDER ADVERTISING
British Code of Advertising Practice
Advertisements in this publication are required to conform to
the British Code of Advertising Practice. In respect of mail order
advertisements where money is paid in advance, the code
requires advertisers to fulfil orders within 28 days, unless a
longer delivery period is stated. Where goods are returned un¬
damaged within seven days, the purchaser's money must be
refunded. Please retain proof of postage/despatch, as this may
be needed.
Mail Order Protection Scheme
If you order goods from Mail Order advertisements in this
magazine and pay by post in advance of delivery, Sinclair User
will consider you for compensation if the Advertiser should
become insolvent or bankrupt, provided:
(1) You have not received the goods or had your money
returned: and
(2) You write to the Publisher of Sinclair User summarizing the
situation not earlier than 28 days from the day you sent your
order and not later than two months from that day
Please do not wait until the last moment to inform us. When you
do write, we will tell you how to make your claim and what
evidence of payment is required.
We guarantee to meet claims from readers in accordance with
the above procedure as soon as possible after the Advertiser has
been declared bankrupt or insolvent (up to a limit of E4.250 per
annum for any one Advertiser so affected and up to £10.000 per
annum in respect of all insolvent Advertisers. Claims may be
paid for higher amounts, or when the above procedure has not
been complied with at the discretion of Sinclair User, but we do
not guarantee to do so in view of the need to set some limit to this
commitment and to learn quickly of readers' difficulties).
This guarantee covers only advance payment sent in direct
response to an advertisement in this magazine (not. for example,
payment made in response to catalogues etc. received as a result
of answering such advertisements). Classified advertisements
are excluded.

ABOUT OUR PROGRAMMABLE
INTERFACE
Surpassing the outstanding specification of
our .Interface Module II which still offers
the best software support at its price, a
Joystick Interface that is compatible with
ALL SOFTWARE through its unique hard¬
ware programmable design.
The Interface plugs on to the rear connector
of your ZX8I or ZX Spectrum.
Quick clip-on connections, which are con¬
figured from a reference card supplied, allow
you to define which of the forty keys are
simulated by which action of the Joystick.
A pack of ten Quick Reference Programming
Cards makes setting for your favourite games
even easier. These can be filled in to show at
a glance the configuration required and
stored in the cassette case of the particular
game. When you change to a game using
different keys the module is re-programmed
in a few seconds.
As with our Interface Module II the Pro¬
grammable Interface accepts all standard
switch Joysticks that are Atari-compatible.
Two sockets are available which are con¬
nected together for two player games which
use the same keys for both players.
The Interface resides in the keyboard
address space and does not affect its opera¬
tion or interfere with any other add-ons. A
rear extension edge connector will accom¬
modate expansion of your system.
The unique AGF key simulation principle
makes it extremely easy to incorporate
Joystick action in your own programs. All
eight directions and fire are read by simple
BASIC.
With every order comes a free demonstration
program called ‘Video Graffiti’ plus a full
set of instructions.
* Programmable design gives TOTAL soft¬
ware support.
* Accepts Atari, Competition Pro, Wico,
Starfighter, Quick Shot, Le Stick etc.
* Rear extension connector for all other
add-ons.
* Free demo program and instructions.
PACKAGE CONTENTS SUPPLIED
• Programmable Interface Module as illus¬
trated, complete with clip-on program¬
ming leads.
• Self adhesive programming chart detailing
how to define which key is simulated by
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, and FIRE.
This can be fixed on to the case of your
computer or if preferred the protective
backing can be left on. The chart is made
of a very durable reverse printed plastic
and is extremely easy to read.
• One pack of ten Quick Reference Pro¬
gramming Cards for at-a-glance setting
to your games requirements. The card
allows you to mark the configuration in
an easy to read fashion with space to
record the software title and company
name.
• Video Graffiti demonstration program
which is written totally in BASIC to illus¬
trate how all eight directions and fire
can be read. This is also a useful high
resolution drawing program.
• 12 months guarantee and full written
instructions.

PROGRAM
• The program lists out. .in order of preference, the sixteen most
likely score-draws: also the sixteen most likely homes, draws
and aways.
• It picks out the results on the bookmakers' FIXED ODDS
coupons that have been given over-generous odds. Calcu¬
lates your expected profit!
• The program will be initialised to the English and Scottish
league tables. You will be able to update these league tables
week by week as results come in — or enter a complete new
set of league tables in other words, the program will never
become "out of date"!
• All programs are recorded on a top quality cassette (usually
Sony) and are accompanied with an instruction leaflet giving a
brief explanation of the theory.

DOOMSDAY
CASTLE
Is an arcade style game
with the feel
of a real adventure
FANTASY SOFTWARE, FALCONBERG LODGE, 27A ST GEORGES ROAD, CHELTENFIAM, GLOS GL50 3DT
despatched by return first class post together with free membership and current newsletter of the Fantasy Micro Club,
Trade Enquiries welcome - telephone 0242-583661.
Doomsday Castle consists of a labyrinth of 76 complexly inter-connected Halls and Passages
where you will meet a whole host of adversaries serving the infinitely evil Scarthax, the Garthrogs,
the Orphacs, the phenomenally nasty Googly Bird and the Urks which manifest themselves in over
fifty unbelievably weird and wonderful guises.
Scarthax has scoured the Universe to bring together the six ancient stones of lifeforce. United in
Doomsday Castle they are being used to wield an irresistable power over the cosmos, emanating
waves of corruption through every galaxy.
To save the Universe, you must battle your way through the Castle to find and collect the six
stones and use their force against
Scarthax to destroy Doomsday ( .
Castle, hopefully escaping
yourself before the final
cataclysmic explosion.
The task is not easy
(saving the Universe
never is!) and It will
take youmany games to
unfold the structure
of D<jpmsday Castle and
discover the locations of the
ancient stones. The addictive
arcade style action will keep you
coming back to play but the
overall challenge should still
keep you occupied for months.
